I never sympathise with the accused unless there's a chance the accused is not guilty, but I certainly don't ever sympathise with the criminal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have no feelings for the criminal. All my feelings lie with the victim.
When you are in trouble, people who call to sympathize are really looking for the particulars.
When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour.
Sympathy for victims is always counter-balanced by an equal and opposite feeling of resentment towards them.
It's not very interesting to establish sympathy for people who, on the surface, are instantly sympathetic. I guess I'm always attracted to people who, if their lives were headlines in a newspaper, you might not be very sympathetic about them.
I want people to understand that tragedy and trial does not necessarily mean that you are a victim.
I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.
I don't think the biggest crime is to not sympathize with people. I think the biggest crime is to not be interested.
Too often, we get attention and sympathy by being a victim. If we're invested in someone being our villain, we must love being the victim. We have to let go of both characters in the story.
A jury of my countrymen, it is true, have found me guilty of the crime of which I stood indicted. For this I entertain not the slightest feeling of resentment towards them.
